In the morning we made the 1st
intermediate sampling. It consists in weighting and counting some fish from
each cage due to gain the average of growth. After 24 hours of fasting, the
small platform was pulled until the cages.

After finishing the sampling I had some off
hours: what a great chance to go for shopping in the market! For coming to Juapong
market, I waited for a lift along the way from the driver Mr Ibrahim, who was
on duty of transporting a download of fish to another city for selling.

Once arrived in the right village for shopping, Mr Ibrahim left me on
the way near the market place for going on with his trip. Finally I walk among
the few opened stalls in the silent market (since the main days of week are
Wednesday and Saturday). After Buying some new fresh food and other needs, it
was time to go back home.

As I arrived to the dirt san road, the only public
transport available is the motor-bike: the driver was very good in avoiding
holes and stones on the way crossed by goats, farmers coming back home and kids
jumping and calling me “Owbrowny” or “Yewu” (“white person”) from the houses in the small villages.
